What are the Differences between polar solvent and non polar solvent?
A polar solvent is a compound which has dipole moments which allow compounds which are able to form ion-dipole moments to dissolve. Non-polar solvent refers to compounds which have no polarity,(no dipole moments, or that the polarity is cancelled out), such as CCl4.
What is the name of the element that is called universal solvent?
It's not an element, but a compound that's called the universal solvent, and that compound is water. The strong polar nature of water means that it dissolves many polar covalent and ionic substances.
Why is CuSO4 more soluble in water than in organic solvent?
CuSO4 is ionic and water is polar. The types of bonding allow water to dissolve the salt much more easily than an organic solvent (e.g. alcohol, hexane) could.
Why water is called a universal solvent?
Water is considered 'the' universal solvent because more materials are dissolved by it than by any other solvent but it will not dissolve non-polar substances like oil. Water is very polar; which is why many of its properties are different from nearly all substances, such as water's high melting and boiling points, high surface tension, and why it expands when frozen.
Is silver nitrate or silver chloride or silver carbonate more soluble in a polar solvent?
Silver nitrate is soluble in water but chloride and carbonate are insoluble.
What are the Differences between polar solvent and non polar solvent?
A polar solvent is a compound which has dipole moments which allow compounds which are able to form ion-dipole moments to dissolve. Non-polar solvent refers to compounds which have no polarity,(no dipole moments, or that the polarity is cancelled out), such as CCl4.
Why does Br2 dissolve in cyclohexane and not in water?
Bromine is more soluble in hexane than water. Br2 is non polar so it dissolves good in an non polar solvent like hexane. Water is a polar solvent.
Why is sodium chloride more soluble in water than in hexane?
Because water is a polar solvent.
What property of water affects solubility?
growl Water is not conventionally thought of as a solute, because it is much more practical as a solvent. That said, I assume the intended question was which property of water makes it an ideal solvent in some cases but not others? Water is a polar molecule, so acts as an ideal solvent for polar molecules, and an ineffective solvent for non-polar molecules. That is, polar molecules are readily soluble in water, but non-polar molecules (for all practical purposes) are insoluble in water. "Like dissolves like."
What is the much more polar solvent?
Formamide is the most polar solvent. It has a dipole moment of 3.73 and a dielectric constant of 109. As a comparison, water has a dipole moment of 1.85 and a dielectric constant of 80. The higher the dipole moment value and the dielectric constant, the more polar the solvent. At the opposite, the less polar solvents are hexane, benzene and carbontetrachloride.
When is water not a solvent?
Because like dissolves like. Water is a polar molecule and will dissolve other polar molecules or ions but not oils for example because they are not polar. ie they are immisceble.
Why is Iodine more soluble in kerosene than water?
chemical make-up, In detail, The chemical reaction of the kerosene upon the iodine, It "shakes hands" and bonds with and therefore is more interactive allowing fluid reply.
What is the name of the element that is called universal solvent?
It's not an element, but a compound that's called the universal solvent, and that compound is water. The strong polar nature of water means that it dissolves many polar covalent and ionic substances.
What can be mixed but is not dissolved?
something that is non-soluble in whatever solvent youre using the solvent is what is doing the dissolving, while the solute is the thing being dissolved for example: a mixture of water and salt. water is the solvent and salt is the solute. but to answer your question in more depth, the solubility of something is determined by its polarity compared to the polarity of the solvent water is polar, so polar molecules dissolve readily in water if the substance is known to be nonpolar, then it wont dissolve in water (im just assuming your solvent is water. if you want a more specific example, you should check the polarity of your solvent and solute.)
Why is CuSO4 more soluble in water than in organic solvent?
CuSO4 is ionic and water is polar. The types of bonding allow water to dissolve the salt much more easily than an organic solvent (e.g. alcohol, hexane) could.
What is the organic solvent can use to dissolve urea please urgent?
Urea is a polar molecule that readily / easily dissolves in the polar solvent - water. The term 'organic solvent' is used to describe the more powerful non-polar solvents, such as benzene, or carbon tetrachloride (dry cleaning fluid), that are used to dissolve non-polar compounds.
